Topic: I bought the wrong ravioli the other day. (Read 10116 times)

I thought Id stock up on stuff from the supermarket the other day, so I bought a whole mess of stuff, including ravioli because I wanted to have some this week. Dont know why I assumed it was cheese - I should know better and always make sure.

Well lo and behold I opened the bag and started cooking and they didnt look right....then when it came time to taste test, I was pissed....its meat ravioli! damn. Im disappointed and Im veryannoyed at myself because Im usually very careful about stuff like this.

Jeffy,

Jesus H. Particular Christ!

Has it ever occurred to you that in a forum where HIV positive people come for support and fellowship, your pasta disaster seems more than just a little out of place?

I've sat through the kitchen wear thread, the hand-wringing about what colour you should paint your flat thread and whether or not your mange-hound get's lonely during the day when you're not around thread. But this latest bit of bullshit really boils my blood.

I mean, fuck me. Get real Dorothy. You bought the wrong fucking pasta. Suck it up.

It's about time you got your closeted arse out of the house and found a fucking boyfriend. You live in NYC not Buttfuck North Carolina so don't tell me it's too hard.

Now hold on a minute.

I call foul.

On the first page of off-topic right now, we have threads about gun dildos, growers vs. showers, who loves porn, Xtube disappointments, the night the lights went out at Wal-Mart, auto services available on Manhunt, who has new grandkids and, drum roll please.......SANJAYA.

I don't find Jeff's pasta disappointment to have any more or less value than any of these topics. It wasn't mean, it wasn't nasty, it didn't call anyone names. It was important enough to him to post it.

It's off topic, for Christ's sake. You don't like the thread, don't read the thread.

I think Jeff's post is an important public service announcement, to remind peopleto check the label on their ravioli before heading to the checkout counter. Perhapswe need to get some ravioli labeling legislation enacted -- the Fair Pasta Labeling Act?

I can't *stand* meat ravioli -- and the Italian side of my family (Dad's side) would slap meif I ever served it to them.

For the love of god and humanity, folks, this is the off-topic forum!

I do like Basquo's subject for the thread, though: Drama Raviola.

Cheers,

Henry(who has bag of cheese & mushroom ravioli in his freezer)

Odd. Lobster ravioli is regularly available in this intensely Italian neighborhood of Philadelphia I live in the midst of. Like in one of the numerous specialty hand made fresh pasta shops... not the supermarket BS.

... and it's divine.

I've also had boar's head ravioli at Mario Batali's Babbo and it's doesn't get ANY better than that place IMO.

I'll have to go down to the beach when i get to Ft. Lauderdale, and play the claw machine game in the tank of the live lobsters at Sloppy Joe's Bar (right above Hooters)... it costs $2.00. If I win one, I'll have 'em cook that lobster up for me as you suggest.

He only said that to try to hurt me because i 'bashed' his boyfriend matty who acted like a tard in this thread. I called it. Sue me.

Jase may be young but he's no dumb bunny even if he plays one on tv. Or with whoever he is with. Why do you presume he is so stupid?

Edit to add:

Matty and doxie can go to hell if thats the way they really feal about an off-topic forum thread. Just makes me think they are both retarded if they can't discern serious issues in 'Living With' versus conversational issues like porn, cock, chicken, oprah, sanjaya and others in off-topic... as well as ravioli.

How sad for you both really to be so angry with the world and your decisions that you take out your agression in a harmless thread about ravioli.

Didn't realize you were both ravioli haters.

I was never a fan, and this probably illustrates why best.

LOL

so many get their collective knickers in a knot an even though we all know matty, jase and bucko are all talking on pm now, matty doesn't respond, but he bids his minions to do so who can't think for themselves.

perhaps not everyone is out to get you as you think.

I have to say, in leaving SF, I have had to swallow my pride and confront people who I had built into my persecution complex(s)... only to find that the issue was really mine and mine alone.

There are many people who would rather not see me post on this board - but personalities are personalities, and not everyone has to like me. I accept that.

I can dignify their remarks, or I can simply let them be. To the eye untrained to prior drama, it appears petty and small. I choose not to give them the power.

Besides, do you really wish to win the favor of those who will pass judgment on you without contact with you? I don't. It saves me the time I would have invested in becoming their friends only to find how shallow they really are.

However, what I will say, is that if you're fragile such that someone's comment on your drinking issue disturbs you, and you were the one who brought your issue out in such a way that it appeared to be a joke (which is how it appeared to me in another post), perhaps you need to investigate the truths of it further.

strayboy, if you wish to discuss any of my 'issues' you can certainly do so in my thread in living with. Of course that requires a modicum of respect and decency for what the person has posted... I'm not entirely sure you are able of that.

Which for philly is an homage, since I didn't say "I don't think he is capable of that'.

Because I have the upmost respect for philly. He is always so insightful and deep and honest.

Am I giggling?

ok.. i'm seriouslyu going to go to bed since matty has obviously declilned to reply to any comments here and this is a thread that is about him and his comments, not mine.

Since he declined after obviously reading the replies here, I can only assume he has no response.

So the evil cabal of Matty's has mushroomed from Jaser and me to include Philly and Joseph, now? I've reported your abusive language to the moderators, Bailey.

I would love to tell matty that I believed his post was an overreaction, but it's not my place. To those who don't find it humorous, especially in the wake of Jeff's posting after, it may appear an overreaction. In fact, it may very well appear that matty is being a crunchy old bastard on the issue.

However, it's not my place to chastise Matty. In fact, letting his comment ride without chastisement, would keep me from seeming as though I was being an 'asshat' so to speak, in pointing out such a horror.

Letting it ride allows others to determine for themselves whether matty is a crunchy old bastard on their own.

...Don't you like it when people judge you on their own interactions with you, rather than the interactions of another?

This is a gift.
